There's the quote of the day!
Actually, there will be a dent in the stadium wall about 15 yards out of bounds, where Paxton tried to throw some shade, but his footwork was all tangled, his throwing angle was wildly inconsistent so the ball flew over the receiver's head out of bounds and hit the wall -- just like at the Broncos practice facility!
Apparently he still has practice squad eligibility so he should wind up on Seattle's practice squad. He's one of those players who stick around in the league because they are cheap, on the practice squad until their practice squad eligibility expires, then they are replaced by other cheap practice squad players.
His chances of ever becoming a starting QB in the NFL are as close to zero as can be measured by science!
Paxton says Denver's 3rd and 4th string can suck it......
Depending what he does next week, he has a chance at 3rd QB if Seattle wants to go that route, but I still saw a mediocre player last night judging the level of talent who he played against....we saw the same thing some flashes against scrubs, then when it came time to even prove he could be number 2 he failed....
Denver's 2024 George Paton Draft/FA plan
Draft
RD1- TE Brock Bowers, GA
RD3- QB Spencer Rattler, SC
RD4- CB Josh Newton, TCU
RD5- S Reggie Pearson, OK
RD5- C Michael Jurgens, Wake Forest
RD6- K Jonah Dalmas, Boise St
FA
1. With what money
He's on a team where they NEVER expect him to be the starter. So, there's no pressure unless Russell Wilson gets hurt. In Denver people expected him to become a star QB and he just fell completely flat under that pressure. Remember him crying on the sideline? There's no crying in the NFL!
Now he's just trying to stick around in the league as a backup somewhere after being out of football last year. This isn't the start of some big comeback.
This is just another in a long line of former first round busts, being given a chance to become career backups somewhere else. He might make the team or practice squad, but Pete Carroll desperately hopes Paxton never sees the field.
He's not wrong.
Geno Smith was just awful. He may get the 2 spot.

The Broncos botched the PL situation from the beginning, hopefully they’ve learned their lesson with Lock.

Paxton would never in hell have lasted a full NFL season and he wouldn't last now.
He knows 8 plays. The same 8 plays he ran at Memphis. The coaching staff was watching from the sidelines watching Paxton and shaking their heads.
In his last pre-season game for the Broncos he could still run the same plays he was good at in the beginning, but no more. Everything else he tried other than that RPO plays he couldn't do it.
Why not run those RPO crap plays then? That was the Tebow experiment. It got the Broncos to that miracle playoff game, but miracles don't repeat themselves. It would have never happened again.
And Tebow got his ribs crushed in the Patriots game so that he could not have played in the AFC Championship Game if by some miracle the Broncos had beaten the Patriots. That style just doesn't last in the NFL.
Running QBs like RGIII or Cam Newton get injured and either learn to stop that crap and become pocket-passing QBs or else quit the league.
Paxton ran the same plays. He's good at those limited number of plays.
And against a defense using backups that doesn't game-plan to stop that offensive style it works.
I live near Seattle. Paxil has looked terrible in camp. That was his SB, which speaks volumes about PL.
